Hmm, I can't see very far into the future at all... but I'm probably going to have to spend most of my time dealing with integration&documentation over the next few months, so poly~ is all we're likely to see for a long while.
From what I gather it's well desgined and if I see any way to "improve" on it
later I can probably find a way to be backwards compatible with it, so there's no reason not to use it!

hi Thomas and all,
I have put the poly~ project aside, not even realizing it is eagerly awaited. Several ``balloon probes'' I have been sending to this list failed to uncover that...
After all, it is Miller who has the final say here. He can do this better than me. He can look into Pd's future. The poor rabin~ is just made to suit my current very simple needs, _and_ in the hope it could help (or provoke) designing of the proper thing.
Same goes for a score follower -- the xeq_follow is a crap, it is not a universal tool, but it is just what I need to have now.

Btw. poly~ does not scale to multi-channel, all its voices are mixed.

also i'm missing some abstractions. in supercollider it's no problem to scale a patch from 1 to 4 to 16 channels. how could i make a patch with 48 channels, without drawing lots of lines? maybe it's possible and i just don't know it.
That will be possible once Krzysztof has finished his eagerly awaited poly implementation. See Max/MSP for reference.
